Underground Art: On Display in the Subway

Sunday, August 5 | 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

The New York City subway system’s 400-plus stations make it the largest in the world; with hundreds of art installations scattered throughout those stations, it’s also one of the world’s largest public art galleries. Join guide Justin Rivers on a journey through time and space, telling the story of the NYC commuter — from Roy Lichtenstein’s subway rocket to the future down to Robert Fulton’s first steam ferry — all told through the art we pass in the transit system every day.

Co-conceptualized and delivered by artist Aaron Asis and presented in partnership with Untapped Cities.

Walking and climbing stairs required. Please dress for the weather as this tour will take place outdoors and in areas of the transit system that are not climate-controlled.
